That’s not a bad idea, honestly. You know, we almost had a record deal. Well—sort of. We cut a demo and got an audition.
[ He says we, but he was the only member of the band who really got that audition, and it was an audition that required flying to California. In the middle of a sudden family crisis, there was no way he could make that trip, so opportunity passed right on by. ]
Yeah, that…it was a bad year. Still, kind of cool to say you were almost the next big thing, right?
[ He doesn’t elaborate, but the way he snorts and rolls his eyes at the memory says enough: something happened to turn that audition into a total bust.
Okenus is eying him and his guitar closely, though, and Eddie doesn’t give them the benefit of the doubt. He crawls up onto a table and sits cross legged, guitar wrapped tightly in his arms. ]
Don’t even think about it, you little shit.
[ Maybe not toddler-appropriate language, but it’s not especially cruel. One of the other hatchlings crawls up with him and sits on his head, but for the time being, all Okenus does is sit and watch him. ]
Uh, hell yeah it is. I do distribution work for a lovely lady in the Free Cities. I don’t know what kind it is. Probably nothing I’m gonna recognize by name, but it’s a great product. I can hook you up back in Solvunn if you want.
